Sorry for the lack of post lately, we’ve been busy. Thats a good thing! Anyways a few weeks ago I posted some photographs from a commercial video shoot for Keeneland where they had borrowed a few Vespa scooters from us. The commercial is now being aired on TV and I just ran across it on youtube. Check it out below, I think it will one get you in the mood for Keeneland and two get you in the mood for some scootering. Keeneland fun begins April 2nd, lets take a group ride out to the races one day!
I think the commercial came out great, probably the best Keeneland ad I have ever seen. I am a big fan of these jockeys racing some Vespas!

I just ran across this video on Youtube called “Vespa Building Relationships”. It appears to be an actual commercial for Vespa, but you never know it could just be a cool video some Vespa-fanatic made. Regardless, the theme of this video really made a lot of sense to me. Vespas do build relationships!
In just over a year of opening Vespa Lexington, Michael and I have formed a ton of great new friendships (relationships). I have also seen a lot of friendships (relationships) formed among all of you central Kentucky scooterist. It’s been a ton of fun watching the group grow, and it’s been a ton of fun getting to know everyone. Honestly I can’t even believe some of the things I say in front of some of our customers, but I guess when you cross the line from customer to friend you can let loose and have more fun.
With out our “relationships” Vespa Lexington would be nothing, it’s our friends and customers that make this business a go. Big thanks to all our friends and big thanks to Vespa for building all these wonderful relationships!

Vespa Lexington would like to extend a big big THANK YOU to Mr. Sullivan for his recent purchase of a sweet new 2010 Vespa GTS 300. Thanks so much Mr. Sullivan and enjoy your new ride!
Mr. Sullivan is no stranger to the quality of a Vespa, he traded in a sweet 2007 GTS 250 in the red.

Vespa Lexington recently donated the use of several Vespa scooters for an upcoming Keenland commercial. Needless to say I am pretty excited to see the finished product! I am also pretty excited about some Keenland action this spring.
Speaking of Keenland, we definitely plan to organize a big group ride out to the races one upcoming Saturday or Sunday. Who’s down?

Christmas came early! Vespa Lexington is excited to announce the arrival of a few new super sweet 2010 Vespa and Piaggio scooters. We got in a couple new 2010 Vespa GTS 300 Supers (black and red), a sweet new 2010 Piaggio MP3 in the Passion Red, and a new 2010 Vespa LX 150 in the Dragon Red (our most popular color).
This is the first “Passion Red” Piaggio MP3 we have had at Vespa Lexington, and I gotta say the color way is absolutely awesome! I am sure it won’t last long, everyone that has laid eyes on it, has fallen in love. It just pops! Can’t wait to see this bad boy (or girl) out on the roads.
Looking for a new scooter? Vespa Lexington offers the very best customer service, only the highest quality scooters, the most stylish scooters available, the best financing options available, and as an added bonus we make buying a new scooter FUN!

Not your typical Vespa Lexington or scooter related post, but still a worthy post. One of my best friends, the talented singer & song writer Stoll Vaughan will be playing this Friday night at Natasha’s Cafe (Friday March 12th @ 9PM). Lexington is one of his last stops on a long tour and If you don’t have plans I would definitely swing down to Natasha’s to catch the show. If the weather is good, ride your scoot! Stoll promised me that if I wrote this post he would play a song about Vespa Lexington on friday night.
Stoll was born and raised here in Lexington and currently resides in Los Angeles. I am pretty sure his reasoning for moving to LA, was so he could try and impress all the southern ladies by telling them he “lives in LA”. You know, since LA is so hip and cool. In fact one time I heard him tell a girl he was Zac Efron, he then proceeded to sing her a song from High School Musical. Joking aside, Stoll’s music speaks for itself. In the past he has opened for Def Leppard, Urge Overkill, John Mellecamp, John Fogerty, Marty Stuart, and Shooter Jennings. Currently he has provided music for the David Lynch Interview Project, Friday Night lights, and will have a song in an upcoming episode of HBO’s hit show True Blood.

Looks like we have a nice weekend in store for us, nice and sunny! If you own a scooter make sure and get out and ride it. If your in the market for a new scooter (and you should be), swing by Vespa Lexington this weekend and test ride a few. We are getting stocked up for spring/summer and have a wonderful selection of Vespa, Piaggio, and SYM scooters available. Anything from a small 50cc scooter to a large 500cc scooter, we got you covered.
To get you in the mood for some riding and a few of these upcoming rallies, I wanted to post this awesome video I just ran across on vimeo. If this doesn’t get you in the mood I don’t know what will.

I love a good Vespa adventure, and I am sure most of you are looking forward to a few Vespa adventures as it warms up. For the second year in a row photographer Clay Enos is currently making his way across the country on his Vespa 300. Last years adventure was called “The Local Time Vespa Tour – Touring back roads on a Vespa, eating locally and sustainably, and of course, making pictures.”, and this years journey is called “The Organic Coffee Vespa Tour”.
“THE ORGANIC COFFEE VESPA TOUR is inspired by the ideas first explored on the Local Time Vespa Tour. That 7,000 mile ride across the United States focused on local economies and sustainable food. Now, my latest Vespa-powered journey will take me through Central America to explore the business of specialty coffee and to meet the people growing some of the finest beans in the world for the Organic Coffee Cartel and others.
My plan is to spend time making photographs of the farmers, families and landscapes that most of us know nothing about or just don’t concern ourselves with when we order our five dollar coffee concoctions. I plan to put a face to that morning cup. The same way tasting a fine wine can connect you to the rolling hills of Burgundy, I believe a great coffee can be equally stimulating to the imagination. I love the idea that a cup of coffee can connect us to far away places and hard working people. I’m excited to creatively test that idea and share my findings.”
Clay has made following his travels easy though steady updates on his website, his Twitter account, his Tumblr, and through his Flickr account. It’s been a lot of fun keeping up with Clay’s travels, if you have a chance you should tag along via those links.
Clay has visited several Vespa shops along the way, and would love to show him some southern hospitality at Vespa Lexington if he swings through Kentucky. Besides, don’t he know I am the Original Coffee Bandit?
